Well, I'm grateful for all the experiences that I've had.

I am a feminist with a capital 'F' .

There's an infantilization that happens to actresses in general - musical theatre, straight theatre, television, film - we're spoken to like children. Actors are spoken to like children a lot of the time.

Just because you're a belter doesn't make you funny; it just means that's how your pipes are set up.

I try to give the appearance that I have it all together and that I know what I'm talking about, but at the end of the day, I think I might be full of crap.

That was my intention, was to have it be from the perspective of my high-school-aged self, and to try and emulate the music that I listened to at that time. So to write essentially like a pop-punk song about musicals. I wanted the dichotomy of the tone of the music with the lyrics and my singing voice.

If we had an audience to play to, the performance would have gotten too big. Sizing our performances to the camera was an important journey for me at least.
